BANGKOK TO PATTAYA IN UNDER AN HOUR ONCE HIGH-SPEED TRAIN ARRIVES

Further information has been released about the high-speed rail line to be built to connect Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in Bangkok and U-Tapao Airport also known as Pattaya Airport, as part of the governments Easter Economic Corridor expansion plans.

Officials announced that a trip from Bangkok to U-Tapao will take a very attractive 45 minutes as once out of the city the train will be able to reach a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

Prices were said to be 330 baht per person.

The train will stop at five places once it departs the capital at stations in Chacherngsao, Chonburi, Sri Racha, Pattaya and U-Tapao.

The project was given the go ahead yesterday at a high-level government meeting.

its possible from airport to pattaya with a clear road but not possible from bangkok proper .

i guess you are referring to airport to patts .

Nope Don Muang before the new airport, probably 2004, I was in my partners old 300bhp Toyota Celica GT Four, on the expressway I hit about 240kph, it was almost midnight. To be fair it was probably an hour from getting on the expressway.

I agree, this was in the old days when it was a lot quieter and of course at night. I drove to Koh Chang in October and almost got lost on the new roads lol, sod driving to BKK nowdays, used to go often before in earlier years when I lived there.

Used to go often when my old partners kids still lived there (early 90's) otherwise only really went if I had to, wife's visa, picking up Mum & Dad from airport etc, over night stays I always chose hotels with parking so I could drive there and dump the motor. Normally around Sukhumvit. Done it by bike a couple of times.
